Looks like we will have our first major hurricane landfall of the season. Cat 5 Hurricane Lane is eyeing Hawaii currently.

Is it going to make landfall? Looks like it's supposed to miss the big island on direct landfall but they are under a warning. Sheer looks to make it turn west a little before.

It's not a landfall then. It's still going to impact them but the eye won't come ashore. They'll be lucky.. this sucker is big.

Just a little note, please keep me in your prayers. Hurrican Lane is supposed to hit Kauai, my home island, on Friday afternoon. The severity is supposedly gonna go down to a category 2 or 3, but it was a 5 last night, so nothing is for sure. All schools have been cancelled as of an hour ago, so now it's up to everyone to pack up and get ready the best we can.

The further away it turns the better for you! Keep us updated as best you can.

I just also want to make note, the Atlantic looks to fire up shortly as well according to forecast models.

Yeah the rain they are getting is crazy. This is what I hate about hurricanes. Most pay attention to the wind and I'm looking at the flooding potential.

Big island is set for flooding. Other islands on watch. Kauai is getting at least 20 inches of rain. Potential to move down to a cat 3 tomorrow.

Model runs earlier were showing a landfall on Maui however current runs are showing a west turn a bit before landfall. Looks like everything is shifting towards the earlier EURO run.

Also note on the Alantic side, multi African waves are looking promising for future development as we move into the more active part of the year.
On the Pacific side, Lane will downgrade from a major hurricane to a Cat 2 by Fri night.

As Hurricane Harvey showed it's the rain I have issues with. 20 is a lot.. Happy the windfield is less but worried about the landslides. Be careful! As for landfalls.. this Hurricane was never coming onshore so I'm confused why anyone thought it was was going to.

The wind seems to be the least of our problems now. Hurricane Lane is now a category 2, but the average for rain is 31 inches, flooding everywhere, and landslides are occurring around Maui and the big island.
As for me, I'm on Kauai,the 2nd to last island on the chain. The storm is supposed to be coming tonight, so sometime in the next 8 hours my family and I are going to pack up and head to the nearest shelter. We've barricaded our house the best we can, but who knows if it's enough.

I hope all the preparations are enough. Keep us posted as best you can and seriously good luck and stay safe. Glad you aren't one of those that are holding hurricane parties.. I get really upset when I hear that. I pray you and your family are safe and the storm weakens further including the rain department. ♥

Winds are down to 60mph. However the rain is still going strong and possibly getting stronger.
Atlantic is quiet again however theres a small sign of something forming next week. Whatever it is wont end up being very strong. However signs are pointing towards mid Sept being active.
